"Adoption: The Loving Option"
and "Life: The First Unalienable
Right". Life Chains have varied in
size from a half dozen participants
in smaller towns to 10,000—
20,000 in major metropolitan
areas. Life Chain is a peaceful,
prayerful public witness in which
participants hold professional-
looking signs and pray silently for
our leaders and for an end to
abortion.
From time to time, we are
reminded of the Nazi Holocaust
and Germany's death camps where
6.000. 000 Jews perished. We
wonder how the German people
could have stood by and let that
happen. Yet, by our own inaction,
we condone a holocaust of
45.000. 000 aborted (murdered,
dismembered) babies under the
sterile titles of "abortion" and "a

This is the third in a series of five articles written in celebration of Texas Funeral Directors Week. Oct. 1-7, 2006,
as proclaimed by Gov. Rick Perry and sponsored by the Texas Funeral Directors Association.
TEXAS FUNERAL DIRECTORS RAISE
THE BAR FOR PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
In the early days of funeral service, the only skills necessary were a strong back and the desire to help
families in need of assistance after the death of a loved one.
Today, and going back to the first of the 20th century, specific courses of education beyond high school have
been required.
Initially, getting a license from the state of Texas required a desire to serve and enough study to pass the state
exam. Today, there is much more education required for licensure - often more than a 65-college hours
associate degree, and once the director begins practicing, every two years, 16 hours of continuing education are
required for relicensure of each director who wants to Continue working in Texas.
"In the early days, most students - usually men - attended mortuary science school after high school or after
returning home from the war," said Ann McKnight, executive director of the Texas Funeral Directors
Association. "The first mortuary school in the state that is still training funeral directors is The Dallas Mortuary
Institute."
Mortuary training in Texas is also offered by Commonwealth Funeral Institute in Houston, San Antonio
College, and Amarillo College, which also now offers a training program online that offers a certificate in
funeral service.
Many of today's funeral directors were the sons and daughters or grandchildren of funeral directors and
began working in the family business when they were old enough to pass out prayer cards at the beginning of
services or made extra money in the summers, mowing the lawn or washing the vehicles used for fttneral
services.
For some of these second- and third-generations, those initial experiences opened the doors to lifetime
careers in the profession. Others quickly learned funeral service was simply not a vocation they wanted to
pursue.
"Today, more than ever before, people are attracted to the profession because they feel a personal calling to
help others," said Bill Vallie, a veteran of funeral service who is also president of the Texas Funeral Directors
Association for 2006-2007. "If you asked 100 funeral directors why they selected funeral service as their
profession, more than 90 would tell you they were called."
Women have always been part of funeral service, many assisting their husbands, who were funeral directors,
but the women worked equally long hours, comforting families and seeing to the final details for each service.
Many women went on to mortuary schooi to become licensed funeral directors and often were left to run
the business if their husbands were called into military service or passed away.
During their training, fttneral directors learn the laws of the state as well as federal laws regulating funeral
service, communications skills, business and accounting skills, mortuary science and core courses, such as
psychology, sociology, anatomy, chemistry and pharmacology.
Once mortuary science students complete two years of school, they spend the next year working as an
apprentice under the mentorship of a funeral service professional. They are also required to take a national
exam as well as a separate exam that covers mortuary laws for the state.
When they complete all requirements, they are licensed and can work as funeral directors, arranging funeral
services and providing assistance to families after the death of a loved one.
"New funeral directors are very aware they are entering a profession where the hours are long," McKnight
said. "Those who continue in funeral service as a career are there because they are dedicated to die profession
and to the community they serve."
